Dore des Bernardins is a dry white wine that is only produced in years when the Muscat a petit grains crop is large enough. Grapes are picked at the same ripeness level as for the Vin Doux Naturel. In contrast to Muscat de Beaumes de Venise, the fermentation isn't stopped, giving a fruity dry wine with intense Muscat aromas.
Dry Muscat with a fruity, nice perfume, honeysuckle and melon aromas, lively rounded mouth-feel. Elegant, fresh and medium-bodied.
Nicely chilled, this dry white wine is great as an aperitif or with asparagus, seafood, king prawns, fish.
"The is a beautifully aromatic, complex white that has lots of tangerine, orange blossom, and honeyed flowers aromas and flavors to go with a clean, medium-bodied, nicely balanced style on the palate. This dry white will shine on the dinner table."
